Luciano Aguiar de Souza (aka LuLu3199)
Luciano, or as he's known in the chess realm, LuLu3199, is a tenacious player who has turned his love for battle on 64 squares into a thrilling journey of ups, downs, and dramatic checkmates. With a chess career that’s as lively as a rook racing across an open file, Luciano’s signature time control is Blitz, where he has carved quite the niche with some dazzling victories and a few lessons learned (but who hasn't?).
Chess Odyssey
Starting out with some modest ratings, Luciano steadily advanced his skills, and by 2025, his Blitz rating soared past the millennium mark, peaking impressively at 1341! His bullet games aren’t too shabby either, with a peak rating of 826. A player with both speed and endgame prowess, he balances tactical awareness (77% comebacks after losing pieces) with a stubborn refusal to give up early—his early resignation rate is a mere 1.15%.
Playing Style and Opening Repertoire
Known for hopping on the Queens Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation bandwagon, Luciano wins more than half the time with this choice (across thousands of games!), and he shows a particular fondness for the Scandinavian Defense and the intriguing "Top Secret" opening.
Being a fan of intricate play, he enjoys deep endgames, averaging nearly 60 moves per win—plenty of room for theatrics and blunders. His playstyle reveals a remarkable balance between solid positional understanding and bold tactical strikes, sometimes even orchestrating checkmates that would make Shakespeare proud.
Performance Highlights
- Total Blitz Wins: 2648, Losses: 2601, Draws: 250
- Bullet Record: A decent 486 wins to 455 losses, proving that fast doesn’t always mean reckless.
- Current favorite clip? Winning by resignation or checkmate, of course—Luciano has pulled off spectacular finishes against opponents like goff4678 and mbs999 in 2025. If you want chess drama, just watch his latest to see it in action!
Not Just a Number
Beyond ratings and stats, Luciano’s competitive spirit shines in his extensive list of opponents, ranging from calm strategies to fiery tactical battles. His biggest challenge? Maintaining that winning streak without tilting—the calculated tilt factor at 11 suggests he keeps his cool, probably helped by timing his games mostly around 7-8 PM, his recognized best time to play!
Trivia

- He’s not shy to try "Top Secret" openings—perhaps hiding his true style better than Houdini.
- Despite some rough patches, his comeback rate from losing positions is a heroic 77.6%, proving he’s no quitter.
